Chapter Thirteen, Uncle

I didn't expect to hide it. That day, my grandmother told Zhang Sanhua about the news that my uncle was asking for. Zhang Sanhua expressed no objection.

Zhang Sanhua had no objection, but Ah Mother began to worry about gains and losses, and cooked several times. When Ah Mother once again put too much salt into the dishes, Zhang Xiaohua finally couldn't help it.

"What's wrong with you, a mother? Our family is not a salt seller!"

When my daughter complained in front of her, my mother's first reaction was guilty, and then she became a little angry and embarrassed.

"You make it yourself if you think it's salty. You'll have so much to wait for food. When you get married, you'll know that you're enjoying more now."

After Zhang Xiaohua was said this, her face turned red instantly, she put down her bowls and chopsticks and ran out.

"A child of this age, I ran out after saying a few words. I don't know who I learned from." Ah Niang regretted it, but she was still stubborn, and she also educated Zhang Sanhua, "San'er, you don't want to learn from your second sister."

Zhang Sanhua poked the rice in her bowl. The food was indeed quite salty, but she wouldn't tell her about it now and it would be a big fan of her mother's disgust.

"My mom, you're really wrong recently." Zhang Sanhua decided to care, "Is it because my uncle is coming? What are you worried about?"

"I have anything to worry about, I'm happy." Ah Niang looked at Caidian blankly, feeling a little confused, "Your uncle wants to come to see me, what's there to worry about."

Zhang Sanhua silently digs the rice.

"Your grandma is just two of us children, and she has been kissing since she was a child. Because your uncle protects me, my mother was never bullied by those kids when she was a child. At that time, the family was still good, and he would leave it to me occasionally when he went to the market to buy a candy person." My mother showed nostalgic expression, "Your uncle is good at weaving grass. Before getting married, my room was full of grasshoppers, kittens, and dogs that he made for me."

Zhang Sanhua continued to scatter the rice.

"Why are you just eating? Come and have some food?" Ah Niang picked up chopsticks and cucumbers for Zhang Sanhua and began to recall, "He is good to his sister-in-law. His sister-in-law said that she had gold jewelry and she didn't wear it, so he saved several months and monthly money to buy a pair of lilac gold earrings for your aunt."

Ah my grandmother touched her earlobe, lowered her head, and her eyes were blurred.

“Those earrings look so good.”

Zhang Sanhua beat her up, and she remembered that her mother didn't even have a pair of silver earrings, not even a pair of silver earrings. I wonder if she used it as her during the period after she was born.

"You said, your uncle is going to see me, how could I be unhappy?" My grandmother tried hard to look happy, but her tone still contained a little melancholy, "What's there to worry about?"

"My mother, I've finished eating." With just the chopsticks of vegetables, Zhang Sanhua finished eating the whole bowl of rice, "I'll go find my second sister."

"Go and go, one and two are like monkeys." Ah Niang looked at Zhang Sanhua going out of the door, sighed, picked up chopsticks and put the cucumbers into her mouth, and then was stunned, "It seems... it's a bit salty."

Zhang Sanhua, who left the house, walked around the village and found Zhang Xiaohua who was throwing stones and smashing trees with a temper.

"Second sister, go back."

"I won't go back. I'll say this to me for someone who has ignored her for more than eight years. When that person comes, maybe I can't even eat." As he said that, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help sobbing, "She just disliked me for not being a son. After all, my daughter is someone else's family."

Zhang Sanhua was embarrassed now. She was a person raised by her son. Realizing that Zhang Sanhua was uncomfortable, Zhang Xiaohua glanced at Zhang Sanhua sadly and wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"You go back quickly, don't worry about me."

"No hurry." Zhang Sanhua stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Xiaohua's hand, "I'll accompany my sister for a while."

Zhang Xiaohua struggled for a while but didn't open it, and spat gently at Zhang Xiaohua, "You are not so well-behaved in daily life."

"No, I have always been so well-behaved and lovely."

"Why is your skin so thick?" Zhang Xiaohua smiled in anger and pinched Zhang Sanhua's cheek.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua smiled, Zhang Sanhua breathed a sigh of relief and started talking again.

"Second sister, how much do you know about our uncle?"

"I knew that was Ah Niang's brother. My elder sister should know more, but she was not there either."

"Who else in the village knows anything about our uncle?"

"Often you don't deal with the people in the village when you visit relatives. Besides, I'm not sure about it at that time." Zhang Xiaohua pouted and seemed a little unhappy, "Otherwise, go and ask Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin has a good relationship with his father, so he should know more."

"Okay, I'll ask Mr. Lin. But sister, you'd better go back. My mom is actually quite worried about you."

"I don't believe it." Zhang Xiaohua twisted away.

"Really, I lied to you for anything. She didn't eat much after you left."

"What's so delicious about such a salty dish?" Zhang Xiaohua muttered in a low voice, but at least there was a way out. "Since she knew she was wrong, I'll go back."

"Yes, go back quickly." Zhang Sanhua was secretly amused, but she still had to coax her first. After coaxing Zhang Xiaohua home, Zhang Sanhua began to walk towards Mr. Lin's house.

When he entered Mr. Lin's house, he met Yin Jing first. Yin Jing saw Zhang Sanhua's eyes lit up. As soon as he was about to say something, he heard Mr. Lin coughing from behind.

"Today I add two big words."

Yin Jing opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Sanhua with a little aggrieved, and rushed to the study. Zhang Sanhua was puzzled, and Mr. Lin added the coursework to her.

"Sanhua, what's the matter with me?" Mr. Lin smiled and amiable.

"I just want to ask the sir if I know my uncle."

"Your uncle." Mr. Lin showed a look of memories, "that can be considered a man."

"How do you say it?" Zhang Sanhua had imagined a lot, but she didn't expect that it was this comment and she was a little curious for a moment.

"When your uncle was fifteen years old, your grandfather fell down his leg. After he got better, he couldn't do heavy work. Your mother was less than ten years old. Your uncle was studying, but he stopped studying after that. He insisted on going to the town to be an apprentice of a carpenter. Your grandmother was so angry that she beat her hard, but she packed up a few clothes overnight and went to the town to go to the town." Mr. Lin sighed a little, "Without your uncle's mouth, your mother's life could barely go on. Your uncle was also very successful. He went to the school in less than a year and instead took money to the family. Later, he saved money to build a new house and married a beautiful wife."

"How beautiful is it?" Zhang Sanhua's heart moved.

"How do I know how beautiful you are, a child? I have never seen him." Mr. Lin smiled, "But I heard that he has been nude at home since he was a child."

"Sir, do you mean, my aunt has never come to see my mother? My mother has never come when she gave birth to my eldest and second sisters?"

"This... seems to be true." Mr. Lin narrowed his eyes, "But this doesn't mean anything. Sanhua, do you think so?"

Zhang Sanhua nodded and said yes, but lowered her head but had her own thoughts.

"Mr. Lin, my uncle is going to come to my house to see my mother after a while. I will ask you to accompany me at that time."

"Oh, this is interesting." Mr. Lin stroked his little goatee, "I think you have made more preparations."

"My mother has been absent-minded these days, but she is deeply in love with her brother and sister. If there is any inadequate reception, they will not blame her."

Seeing that Zhang Sanhua understood what he meant, Mr. Lin didn't say much and asked Zhang Sanhua to take a few pieces of pastries and take them home to eat.

When Zhang Sanhua returned home, Ah Niang and Zhang Xiaohua had already made up. Ah Niang felt that the lunch was too salty and was afraid that Zhang Sanhua would not eat much and would be hungry, so she put a bowl of noodles for her.

"Eat it." Zhang Xiaohua brought the noodles to Zhang Sanhua and said with some smugness, "My mother made a poached egg for me, and you will eat it."

Zhang Sanhua ate noodles silently, but did not tell Zhang Xiaohua that there was a poached egg hidden under her noodles.

Half a month later, Zhang Sanhua's uncle finally arrived.
